Recipient: magistera
Prompt: Harry/Snape, songfic to Stevie Nicks' The Edge of Seventeen
Word count: 100
Rating: PG
A/N: Couldn't resist doing just one from the list of leftovers!

Everyone eventually learned what Snape had sacrificed for the Order. But the new Minister for Magic insisted justice be served, declaring, 'Murder cannot be condoned.'

Snape vanished.

It took Harry a long time to find him, living like a hermit in the Hebrides.

'Come back,' Harry said. 'You're a hero. Percy'll have to back down, let you live in peace.'

'Peace,' Snape repeated. He looked out across the greyness. 'Perhaps I've all the peace I need right here.' He gestured towards the water. 'The sea changes colours, Potter, but unlike people, the sea doesn't change. I know which I prefer.'

I wasn't 100% happy with this one, so here's the revised version. (I hope that's allowed!) Thanks for reading!

Peace

'Peace,' Snape repeated. 'I've all the peace I need right here.' He gestured towards the sometimes-grey, sometimes-green water. 'The sea changes colours, Potter, but underneath, it's the same. And it doesn't ask me to change, doesn't demand answers.'

Harry stayed a long time.

That's lovely. I do like the second version best--am sucker for romantic ending!

How bittersweet--but I'm terribly glad you changed the end. It's an excellent piece. =)
